Studio Update February 28, 2024

 Exciting news to report this week!  I have been notified of my acceptance into the International Guild of Realism as a professional member!  I submitted some of my drawings and one watercolor painting as part of the jurying process.  I am excited and pleased to receive this news!

One of my goals has always been to reach a high level of proficiency as an artist and illustrator.  My drawings can take a month to complete because of the level of detail involved.  This acceptance is wonderful encouragement to keep going with my work!

 I'll leave you today with a photo of the beautiful Olympic Mountains from across Puget Sound.  I'm just back from my trip to this beautiful countryside.  So many landscapes, so little time!!

Studio Update February 17, 2024

 I've been busy this month and have finished the large print I was working.  This is part of a series of Maine prints I have been doing.  I have wanted to paint this for a long time!  A very colorful and fun subject.

I also am working a drawing of the beach at Kalaloch Lodge on the Olympic Peninsula.  This isn't finished yet but I will share a progress photo.

I am planning to be part of the Lewes Artist Studio Tour again this year.  Mark your calendars for the third Saturday in September.  The tour starts on the 21st at 10 am.  More information to follow!
